Phar Lap's Son is a 1936 New Zealand film directed by A. L. Lewis. Only part of it survives.[1] It was shot in and around Dunedin.[2]
Many of the crew who worked on it had worked on Down on the Farm (1935). [2]
Critical reception
Lionel Collier, for the British magazine, Picturegoer, gave a very negative review and wrote "Coming all the way from Hollywood, Dr. A. L. Lewis directed this racing comedy in New Zealand. He wasted his time. It is a singularly unfunny affair and very definitely boring. Technical qualities are exceedingly poor and the dialogue excruciatingly bad. The only redeeming features about it are a few glimpses of New Zealand scenery."[3]
